Decentraland: How to differentiate reality from virtual
The metaverse: erasing the distinction between real & virtual?
It in an interesting new frontier:
- CGI models: no tantrums or special treatments
- A world that mirrors the real world, or not > you are free to choose
- An extension of the "market" for products
- Possibility of learning, teaching & training creatively
- Never grow old & and look the way you want all the time!
- "Feel" as you would in the real world, using haptic devices
Some legal issues may arise:
- intellectual property ownership, especially for fan-created content
- if 'harm' is done online, will it be legally actionable offline?
- what rights of 'ownership' exist in the metaverse (or what is "property"?)
Personally I think the metaverse will be an interesting platform, filled with possibilities.
Although a unified law is ideal, it may not be fully possible. Look at the Internet and talks about "sovereignty" (should the Internet have a common law?) > it may not ever happen because the Internet is better off not defined by the idea of "State" > it is borderless and shall remain so forever.
